The development of methodologies for C-N bond formation reactions is an important scientific challenge because of many academic and industrial applications. This work will focus particularly on palladium-catalyzed ...

The effects of reaction and deposition conditions on the properties of the conjugated electroluminescent polymer poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) prepared by parylene-based chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are explored in ...

Silk-inspired segmented polyurethanes containing flexible, hydrophilic segments with crystalline and liquid crystalline moieties were developed to mimic the hierarchical morphology of the continuous domain in and the ...

The rates of water and solute transport tend to be lower in fibrous materials than in bulk solution. This phenomenon of "hindered transport" is caused by steric, hydrodynamic, and electrostatic interactions between the ...

Crystallization is a key unit operation in the pharmaceutical industry. Control of crystallization processes can be challenging when undesirable phenomena such as particle attrition and breakage occur. This thesis describes ...

(cont.) The DEM simulation was used to simulate the relative importance of cohesion and friction. For angle of repose simulations, increasing the cohesion increased the final angle in a consistent, linear fashion. Increasing ...
